RE: Katrina
I would love to figure that out. I think it would increase the ambient temperature outside by 10 degrees though!<G>. I quickly forgot what it was like to sleep in heat like that during Desert Shield/Desert Storm. It would be great in a few months though. I looked up some PTO output generators of 10Kw,15Kw and a 20Kw and one of them mentioned that it was certified for turbine output shaft tol.
Only problem is that a 5/6kw Gas generator runs for about 8 hours on a 5gallon take while at half load. I'm sure the turbine would go through 5gallons in much less time, but I'm not sure what the power setting would be on the turbine. The gas generator runs at full throttle. I want a generator like Eddie's dad brought. I remembered that you can also get a dual-altenator setup on the Ford Diesel Dually and the GMC Dooley with an output for powering a camper or field equipment. I looked this up and the FORD has a 145Amp secondary and the GMC has a 165amp secondary. Anyone know what kind of TRUE power can be taken off of one of those setups? I wonder what kind of power it's putting out at an idle.
After being Hot & Funky for 5 days you will think of anything to get power.
